Overview of the Hybrid 2

The Medline Hybrid 2 is a standard wheelchair and transport chair in one. Included in the price is a set of 24" rear wheels for self-propel use and 8" rear wheels for companion use. When the larger 24" wheels are used the chair weighs 33 pounds and with the smaller 8" wheels the chair weighs just 24 pounds. The wheels remove with just the push of a button, making it quick and easy to change your needs.

Available Styles
The Hybrid 2 is available in a 16" or 18" seat width and desk length arms. The desk length armrests are great for use at a table or desk because the shorter length allows for the chair to pull up closer to the table surface. The Hybrid 2 has standard swing-away footrests with composite footplates and the elevating legrests option features padded calf pads and is recommended for patients who need to raise their legs to alleviate edema and swelling.

What You Need To Know:The 16" chair has an overall width of 24.5" with the large wheels on. With the large wheels removed, the width is 23.25".
The 18" chair has an overall width of 26.5" with the large wheels on. With the large wheels removed, the width is 25.25".

Measuring Guide

Seat
Depth1Measure from the most
posterior point of the body to the inside of the knee, minus at least two
inches. Some prefer more leg overhang to make room for their hand when lifting
their leg.

Back
Height2Measured from the
seat base to the top of the wheelchair back. Depends on how much upper back
support is needed, and also affects freedom for the upper body to
rotate.

Rear Seat to
Floor3Measurement from the
ground to the rear seat edge. Relative to the front seat-to-floor dimension,
this determines the rearward slope ("dump" or "squeeze") of the wheelchair
seat.

Hanger
Angle4Determines how far the
toes extend away from the body, measured from the horizontal. A tighter angle
allows the wheelchair to turn around in less space. Depends in part on ability
of the knee to bend towards the perpendicular.

Seat Width5Determined by the widest point of the body from knee to hip, plus an inch
to ensure room to move. Consider bulk of clothing, particularly a heavy winter
coat, if relevant.

Wheel Camber6Angle
of the wheel relative to the vertical. More camber improves stability and
agility, but also limits ability to pass through narrow spaces. A typical daily
wheelchair uses three degrees of camber.

Front Seat to Floor7Measure the leg from the back of the knee to the sole of the
foot. Then subtract the thickness of the cushion when it is compressed. Next,
add a minimum of two inches for footrest clearance. Do not add the footrest
clearance if the wheelchair will be foot-propelled.

Footrest Width8Measure from the inside of each legrest tubing the distance or desired distance between legrests.

Center of Gravity9Measure from the front of the seat back post to the center of the rear axel.

Seat to Footrest Length10Measure from the edge of the seat upholstery to the top rear of the footrest.

Backrest Angle11Measure the the angle of the back post to the floor. Ninety degrees will be perpendicular to the floor, to approximate the angle from the back post to the seat, subtract two degrees from measurment for every .5" of dump.
